Lane closures on Horsham Road and Crawley Avenue will be put in place.

The Crest Nicholson spokesman said: “Road users are being advised to expect delays and, if possible, to please allow extra time for their journeys. Crest Nicholson apologises for any inconvenience and will ensure that every effort will be made to keep this to a minimum.

“Access to surrounding properties and businesses will be maintained at all times. Advance notices will be put in place on the surrounding roads to warn motorists and other road users about the road works a week before they are due to start.

“Should the public need to contact the team, the contact number for the contractor carrying out the works is 0777239879.”
